Never co-sign for sprogs

Grandmoo co-signed on a student loan for brat. Brat was kicked out of school and has left grandmoo saddled with the debt. I had a friend that actually offered to co-sign a student loan for me. I asked if she were out of her mind. Even though I know I wouldn't have been a deadbeat, the thought of having something like that hanging over someone's head bothered me. Grandsprogs though seem to be more entitled as to the whole "what are you going to do about it?" attitude to their grandparents takes over. And of course, moomy and dudhy will most likely take the sprogs side.

According to the article, grandma was going to take the money out grandson's inheritance. I don't understand what is it that she is waiting for. On the other hand, if the loan never gets paid off, grandson is going to be dealing with the consequences of it a lot longer than grandma possibly could... Maybe she needs to spend the inheritance and let the kid learn his lessons.
